The Presidency on Sunday challenged former President Olusegun Obasanjo to provide evidence backing his claims that President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is training secret snipers towards 2015 general election.

An 18-page letter written by Obasanjo was released to the media on Wednesday claiming the existence of the snipers towards eliminating perceived opponents as he leveled other grave allegations against Jonathan.

In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the Presidency asked the former President to prove his claims or forever remain silent.

The statement reads: “President Jonathan is running a people’s government. He does not need any snipers. His legitimacy comes from the people. Those who are alleging the existence of snipers should step forward and provide the evidence or shut up forever and go down in history as spineless cowards, driven by sheer greed and indecency.”

The Presidency also described the call by the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Jonathan’s impeachment as reckless and irresponsible.

“We have noted with utter disdain, the reckless and irresponsible call by the APC on Sunday for the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan.”

“Ordinarily, we would not have dignified Alhaji Lai Mohammed’s latest vituperation in the service of his paymasters with a response, but we thought it necessary to warn that the Federal Government will not standby idly and let the nation be plunged into unnecessary crises and political instability because of the desperation and apparent readiness of the APC spokesman and his gang of power-seeking desperadoes to sacrifice the well-being of the country on the altar of their selfish personal ambitions.”

“The Presidency totally condemns the decision by Alhaji Mohammed and his party to move further beyond the bounds of honourable and acceptable political conduct with the senseless call for the impeachment of a President who continues to sincerely devote himself to the discharge of the sacred mandate freely given to him by Nigerians.”

“The APC, which remains a minority party with doubtful credentials in the National Assembly, knows fully well that its attempt to hector and blackmail a Parliament dominated by loyal members of the President’s party, the PDP, into an impeachment process, will come to nothing.”
NIGERIAN NEWS UPDATE

THIS MAN IS ONLY RUNNING MEDIA GOVERNMENT

I remember IBB interview with BBC.
When asked about his corrupt tendencies?
He asked the BBC reporter to prove it?

That statement alone is an admission of guilt?

The infatuation with training pilots ,sailors and investments in facilities with direct military applications by some ethnics point to a preparation for war.
Obasanjo was in Europe recently and was seen cavorting with the blairs.
I am absolutely sure that the meeting was a decoy.
My guess is that he was being briefed on the looming dangers and the evil plans of some people .
Obasanjo intentionally threw it out to let them know that their secret plan is more secret .

Reuben Abati is an i-diot. Obasanjo said there are allegations that Snipers are being trained. He then said, this will be a terrible idea if true. What exactly does Abati want OBJ to prove? That there are allegations?

Imagine the meeting happened inside Tony Blair's bedroom. The meeting was said to last for over three hours in Tony Blair's room. Few days ago, George Bush was accusing Nigerian government of not acting against corruption. George Bush is a personal friend of Tony Blair. They talk all the time. These two former leaders have insiders at CIA. Obasanjo is also close friend of George Bush. There is something more that Obasanjo knows. Obasanjo letter was about opening up not so secret plan of Jonathan.

Let's wait and see because there is more to come.............

Grumpy old papa, when are you going to die? Your mates have died and you are still here at home disturbing the peace.

We all have to be praying seriously for Nigeria now. whether it is jonathan that os arranging sniper or obasanjo and his team. The idea os scary, if sniper riffles get the hands of the wrong people in this country then we r finished.

we should that GOD should frustrate all the evil plans of these politicians before 2015.

Abbati calling OBJ "spineless cowards driven by sheer greed and indecency"!Wow the battle line have been drawn.Abbati you don't abused your elders no matter their utterances.However,one thing is sure,by the time OBJ let loose his dogs of vandalism,Abbati will become history.That was too far.

I wish it were true. . .TIME TO SNIPE OBJ once and for all!

.

Drinking naija alomo and following

Abati is a FOÕL for calling OBJ a spineless coward.

The spineless coward is GEJ, his oga!

economia: THIS MAN IS ONLY RUNNING MEDIA GOVERNMENT

Really. And what is the so called opposition using?

Snoggy: Abati is a FOÕL for calling OBJ a spineless coward.

The spineless coward is GEJ, his oga!

You dont know the meaning of coward.

Dear Lawd!!! See DAFT logic. So OBJ 'heard Allegations of Snipers' and decided to 'tell' (read: accuss) a Sitting President by writing an Open Letter, and you say that President should not Demand the Accuser to provide Proof (and explaination) of d 'Allegation' (Accusation)?? What then wud you want him do? Keep Silent, thereby accepting d 'Allegation'.... You chaps shld try not to make yr HATRED and Stupiditi too obvious when pushing yr views. It is common sense...

Look at this dunce. Do you know the meaning of an allegation? The fact that pea brained clowns like you are the type GEJ is paying to defend him shows how Incompetent he is. How about just denying the allegation instead of making yourself look like a clown by asking someone to prove he heard a rumor?

Got nothing to add nor subtract

“President Jonathan is running a people’s government. He does not need any snipers. His legitimacy comes from the people. Those who are alleging the existence of snipers should step forward and provide the evidence or shut up forever and go down in history as spineless cowards, driven by sheer greed and indecency.”

You mean the above is the reply to OBJ's scatting rebuttal of the Ebele presidency
To ALL those weighty allegations, we get just this FICKLE reply ?
That's all we get to OBJ's letter which was like thunder clapping
Mehn, this dude is truly weaker than the local nypho's washed out pu$_$y
Don't get it twisted, OBJ is a evil devil like IBB, Abdusalami, Danjuma etal yet his letter reminds one of Tupac's "Hit 'em up" Biggie diss track
He uttered an angry lion's roar and Ebele could only reply with a muted cat's meow
WTF!

wetin jonathan wan use snipers do ? wetin hen?

What they mean is that all OBJ said was true but the sniper issue may be a little inaccurate.

What I also confirmed is that OBJ cannot be anywhere near Mandela. Imagine he is unable to forgive al- Mustapha even though;

1. Al- Mustapha spent more years in prison than OBJ did.
2. Al- Mustapha was discharged by a court of law thru a legal process ( actually v. Long one) while OBJ was just pardoned .

ibsmooth: Abbati calling OBJ "spineless cowards driven by sheer greed and indecency"!Wow the battle line have been drawn.Abbati you don't abused your elders no matter their utterances.However,one thing is sure,by the time OBJ let loose his dogs of vandalism,Abbati will become history.That was too far.

Imagine how foolish you. So, old people don't respect themselves in your village? You expect every body to jubilate just because Obasanjo decided to SHlT in the public.

If this's all the President has to say in defense of himself over the 1000 snipers claim and other issues contained in the letter, then this's a reassurance that OBJ isn't far from the truth.
In the words of OBJ, "before it's too late", you're advised to drop that devilish agenda you have for 2014, because it'll consume you.

You are the most foolish Nigerian living. So the President is the one to prove the allegation wrong or correct? You need to check in to see a psychiatrist.

GeneralJ: wetin jonathan wan use snipers do ? wetin hen?

im wan use am kill mosquitoes. Haven't you heard of that insecticide called "SNIPER"?

Obasanjo is an ediot
